Sep 1, 2014 — On September 4, people and organizations from all around Japan will gather to demonstrate against war and the gutting of Article 9. The Global Article 9 Campaign and the "Anti-War Committee of 1000" invite you to join and demonstrate for peace and against the use of war to solve international disputes.

This will be an opportunity to appeal for peaceful resolution ofconflicts around the world such as the ongoing attacks in Gaza, and tocall on the international community to stop the legitimization of theuse of force on innocent civilians under the name of self-defense. Weencourage Japan not to become involved in the use of force, but insteadto actively contribute to advocating for the human right to live inpeace for those suffering from the threat or reality of armed conflictaround the world.
